Help your students learn to describe gravity, magnetism, and everyday pushes and pulls as forces, tell whether a force acts through contact or at a distance, and investigate how pushing or pulling can change an object’s position and motion — with this 18-page EduMagnet Grade 3 science comic—print-ready US Letter landscape PDF.

Grade band: Grade 3 physical science · Contact and non-contact forces · Gravity · Magnetism · Pushes and pulls that change position and motion · Fair, safe investigations

This comic is written for Grade 3 and is aligned to Texas TEKS Science 3.7A, 3.7B, 3.1B, and 3.5B. TEKS codes appear on the store listing only — they are not printed on the comic pages.

What’s included

• 18-page color comic PDF (US Letter landscape, print or project)
• Story pages covering what a force is; contact pushes and pulls; gravity pulling objects toward Earth and downward even when they sit still; magnetism acting at a distance, including that like poles repel and a magnet does not pull every material; comparing the forces; changing position and motion; planning a fair, safe descriptive investigation; a forces chart; a lab day; why this matters; a big idea; a try-this activity; a quick review quiz with a flip-to-check or small-print answer key; a label-the-forces practice page; and a vocabulary glossary
• Vocabulary bars and kid-friendly science explanations throughout
• Circled page numbers for easy classroom navigation
• Animal cast only (Mr. Dot, Nova, Bloop, Gear)
• EduMagnet branding on the last page only (not on the cover)

How to use it

• Whole-class read-aloud or projector lesson to launch a forces-and-motion unit
• Science centers or literacy + science crossover reading
• Unit introduction or quick review before a push-pull, gravity, or magnet investigation or quiz
• Homeschool science reading — no prep: print or project and go
• Comics format supports visual and reluctant readers

Standards

• Texas TEKS Science (Grade 3): 3.7A, 3.7B, 3.1B, 3.5B — demonstrate and describe forces that act on an object in contact or at a distance, including magnetism, gravity, and pushes and pulls, and investigate how pushing and pulling can change an object’s position and motion
• Grades: Grade 3 elementary physical science / forces / gravity / magnetism / motion
• Subjects: Science, Physical Science, Forces and Motion, Reading

Perfect for introducing contact and distance forces and how pushes and pulls change motion in a story-driven comic format. © EduMagnet — for one teacher / one classroom.
